Brandon Strader Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 areare you serious do you only have one, really fat finger or something Ye..yes... we use it with our finger... *awkward*
atmuh Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 areare you serious do you only have one, really fat finger or something i mean seriously
ParanoidDrone Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 In other news... The lag is getting intolerable. Also the Pope is Catholic, etc. I know whining on the forums won't do much, but it's pretty much the only issue we have right now. And I don't think we want a lagging server for the Engineer Update.
Bleck Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 yeah it was pretty unbearable tonight there were at least five, maybe six times where the entire server just froze for twenty seconds during dustbowl
Rambo Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 yeah it was pretty unbearable tonightthere were at least five, maybe six times where the entire server just froze for twenty seconds during dustbowl Just when you thought dustbowl couldn't get any worse...
Brushfire Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 In other news... Also the Pope is Catholic, etc. I thought he was a Nazi. ZING!!
XeroZohar Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I'm guessing the lag issues are why nobody's on tonight. Which is unusual for a weekend in my experience. (also, hi gaiz, I'm on the forums finally )
FireSlash Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 Ping test time! Note: Ping in tf2 will start high and settle down after a few minutes. So give it a moment.

FireSlash Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 Perhaps we should schedule a game or two on each of these servers to see how well they work. I'll see what I can do about seeding them. the sooner the better really. I'm tired of 20 second lag spikes
Black Waltz Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I'll see what I can do about seeding them. the sooner the better really. I'm tired of 20 second lag spikes Argh 20 second lag spikes every 5 minutes...

Brycepops Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 1: 233 ping2: 150 ping 3: 170 ping All of which are worse than the normal OCR servers lol especially that first one. Well, considering you're in the UK and these servers are further west than what we're using now...
SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 yeahhh... I'm afraid I'll have to stop playing on the OCR servers if they're moved to a place that's too ping unfriendly... I can deal with 180 just about (I had to before) but any higher than that I'm going to have to find somewhere else. sorry.
FireSlash Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 Also, how would you guys feel about reserved slots for 1 or 2 bucks a month. (This would be a total wipe of reserved slots) in an effort to pay for a higher end server. How many of you would sign up for that with the understanding that it's to fund the server?
SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 depending upon where the server is and my ping on it I'd probably pay for my reserved slot I was going to originally then I got one for free and I was like "Oh well that's nice"
RussellChamp Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Also, how would you guys feel about reserved slots for 1 or 2 bucks a month. (This would be a total wipe of reserved slots) in an effort to pay for a higher end server. How many of you would sign up for that with the understanding that it's to fund the server? Would there be any advantages of a reserve slot other than avoiding "Kicked due to reserved slot" messages? Such as being able to use certain server commands or additional hats, etc? If there was, I would totally be in for $1-2 a month. (Just think... the suckers playing WoW pay ~$15/mo and have to buy their updates! $2/mo is very reasonable)

(Just think... the suckers playing WoW pay ~$15/mo and have to buy their updates! $2/mo is very reasonable) Chances are, if we do move back to charging for reserve slots, we're going to restructure which commands are available to reserved slots and which are available to the public... but don't be surprised if reserved slots keep the ability to votescramble and things like that without it being public. On another subject, I've scheduled some events to hopefully help us get people to test the three servers. All 3 are scheduled at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT / 1am UTC. I realize this time is inconvenient for those of you in Europe, but this is more or less to test if the server remains responsive when it is full. Tonight's is on 173.12.223.108:27015, with the server name "OCReMix TF2 Lag relief zone [http://www.ocremix.org]" Sunday's is on 174.34.135.187:27015, with the server name " The Vanilla Pod - GamerNation.org" Monday's is on 72.14.190.209:27015, with the server name "OTHER TEAM IS BABIES! | TF2Stats.net" Edit: I also fixed a long-standing bug with the MOTD. If your resolution is too low to see the entire thing at once, a vertical scrollbar should now appear.

This implies that you guys used to charge for reserve slots at some point but don't anymore? Guess that was before I joined.

Monday's iffy depending on if I remember and how much work I have to do.EDIT: Pagetopper get!
atmuh Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 120 60 50 there definitely shouldnt be a US server where people in the US got over 60 ping thats just silly Well, considering you're in the UK and these servers are further west than what we're using now... There was a reason that when the server initially started way back over a year ago that Bahamut wanted the server to be in more of a central location in the US and it should stay there. and id pay whatever we shouldve never stopped charging for reserved slots
Brushfire Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 and id pay whatever we shouldve never stopped charging for reserved slots I too support this. It would easily cover upkeep costs with just the real regulars who have and make use of their reserve slots, and it 24 bux a year isn't that bad either.
SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I'll be able to attend all of the testings except sundays and yay it's extremely super lag server testing tonight flash steps for all. Time to play Sword and Board Demo!
Powerlord Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I'll be able to attend all of the testings except sundays and yay it's extremely super lag server testing tonight flash steps for all. Time to play Sword and Board Demo! To be fair, I scheduled them in the same order FireSlash listed them earlier on.
Bahamut Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I also support going back to charging for reserve slots - for one, I think it will go back to being more focused on those of the community interested in supporting the server, but also my financial situation took a turn for the worse lately, which compromises my ability to pay for the server fully. I am ready to discuss this whenever anyone else is ready.
Powerlord Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Last minute change of plans... due to users already having lag problems with the server we were using tonight, we're swapping Monday's server to today: 72.14.190.209:27015, with the server name "OTHER TEAM IS BABIES! | TF2Stats.net"
